中医药学具有自然科学和人文科学的双重属性。中医药是中华文化的传承基因，是中华文化走出去的最好载体。如何深挖中医药术语中文化负载词的文化内涵并对其进行中西文化对比和翻译，是本研究的着眼点。本文基于中医药术语中文化负载词“阴”和“阳”的英译现状，从认知语言学视角挖掘和探索其认知方式并结合其内涵，提出更加科学、合理的中医药文化负载词英译建议，以期有利于中医药术语英译标准化的建立，从而促进中医药话语传播体系的构建。

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)which has the dual attributes of natural sciences and humanities is the gene of Chinese culture that can be inherited. Chinese medicine may be considered the best carrier for Chinese culture to be accepted worldwide. In this case, TCM translation can bridge East and West. This study is intended firstly to dig deeply into the cultural connotations of culture-loaded TCM terms by comparing them from different perspectives. Secondly, based on current English translations, such as yin and yang, this study aims to explore the cognitive thinking of culture-loaded TCM terms from the perspective of cognitive linguistics. Thirdly, suggestions for the translation of cultural-loaded TCM terms are put forward in order that the process of the standardization of English translation of TCM terms can be facilitated and a proper TCM discourse can be constructed.
